Initial Notes and the terms of its other indebtedness existing on such future date, issue additional senior notes of the same series as the Initial Notes in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture (the “Additional Notes” and, together
with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”), pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture. 
 The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are
members of the same consolidated group of companies. The Subsidiary Guarantors will derive direct and indirect economic benefit from the issuance of the Securities. Accordingly, each Subsidiary Guarantor has duly authorized the execution and
delivery of this Supplemental Indenture to provide for its full, unconditional and joint and several Guarantee of the Notes to the extent provided in or pursuant to the Indenture. 

This Supplemental Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, that are required to be a part of
this Supplemental Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions. 
 All things necessary have been done to
make the Notes, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered hereunder and duly issued by the Company, the valid obligations of the Company, and all things necessary have been done to make the Subsidiary Guarantees thereof, when the
Notes have been executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered hereunder and duly issued by the Company, the valid obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors. All things necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of each
of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in accordance with its terms, have been done. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
WITNESSETH: 
 For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, it is mutually agreed, for
the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Notes, as follows:

Section 204. Acts of Holders; Record Dates. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by the Indenture to be given, made
or taken by Holders of the Notes may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed (either physically or by means of a facsimile or an electronic transmission, provided that such


  
 19 








 
electronic transmission is transmitted through the facilities of a Depositary) by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for
any purpose of the Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and, if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of
the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 The ownership, principal amount
and serial numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of commencement of such Person’s holding of same, shall be proved by the Security Register. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder
of Notes and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company or, if applicable, the
Subsidiary Guarantors in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 The Company may set any day as
a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided or permitted by the Indenture to be given, made
or taken by Holders of Notes, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in
the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after
such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no
action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken. Promptly
after 

  
 20 








 
any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be
given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 206. 
 The Trustee may set any day as a
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Notes entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 602, (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 607(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 612. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has
previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any
action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such
record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 206. 

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the
“Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to each other party
hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 206, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party
hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. 
 Without limiting
the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to the Notes may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant
to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

 Section 205. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by the
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
  

	 	(1)	the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing in the English language to or with the Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or 

  

	 	(2)	the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing in the English language and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument and marked to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer or at any other address previously furnished
in writing to the Trustee by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors. 

 Section 206. Notice to Holders; Waiver. 

Where the Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing in the English language and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the
earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice; provided, however, that any notice given to the Holder of a Global Note shall be given in the manner prescribed by the Depositary. In any case where notice to Holders is given
by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. If notice is given to Holders in the manner provided in
this Section 206, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it. Where the Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the
event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by
mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 

Section 207. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under the Trust Indenture
Act to be a part of and govern the Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of the Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be
deemed to apply to the Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or of the Notes (other than a provision of any Note which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal
(and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or
purchase date, or at the Stated Maturity. 
 Section 214. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders. 

No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, member, partner or trustee of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such,
shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture or the Subsidiary Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

 Section 215. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute

Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate

debt, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any transfer tax or other governmental taxes and fees that may be imposed by law or the Indenture in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 404, 1006, 1107 or 1209
not involving any transfer.

custodian therefor, and each such Global Note shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of the Indenture. 

  

	 	(2)	Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any
Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof, unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is no longer willing or able to discharge its responsibilities properly as Depositary for such
Global Note or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in either case the Company has not appointed a qualified successor within 90 days, (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Depositary has notified the Company and the Trustee of its desire to exchange such Global Note for Notes in certificated form or (C) subject to the Depositary’s rules, the Company, at its option, has elected to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depositary. 

  

	 	(3)	Subject to clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Note for other Notes may be made in whole or in part, and all Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be registered in such
names as the Depositary for such Global Note shall direct. 

  

	 	(4)	Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 404, 406, 1006, 1107 or
1209 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, unless such Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof. 


Section 406. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If there shall be
delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them
harmless, then, in 

  
 28 








 
the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of the Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes
duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
 Section 407. Payment of Interest; Interest
Rights Preserved. 
 Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called
“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
  

	 	(1)	 The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their
respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as
in this 



  
 29 









	 	
clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date
of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of
the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 206, not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes)
are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). 

  

	 	(2)	The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as
may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 


Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note delivered under the Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. The Trustee will have no duty whatsoever to determine whether any Defaulted Interest is payable or the
amount thereof. 
 Section 408. Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 407) any interest on such Note and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee nor any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

None of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility or liability for
any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests of a Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

 Section 409. Cancellation. 

All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, purchase, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than
the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by the Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be
disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s standard provisions or as directed by a Company Order. 
 Section 410. Computation of
Interest. 
 Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

 Section 602. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 601(7) or 601(8)) occurs and is continuing, then in every such
case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company
(and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all of the Outstanding Notes shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 601(7) or 601(8) occurs, the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all of the Outstanding Notes shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 
 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes
has been made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 

 

	 	(a)	such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; 

  

	 	(b)	the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 

 (i)
all overdue interest on all the Notes, 

  
 35 








 (ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes which have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes, 

(iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate prescribed therefor in
such Notes, and 
 (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
  

	 	(c)	all Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 613. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
an Event of Default specified in Section 601(6) above shall have occurred and be continuing, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration (to the extent not in violation of any applicable law or in conflict with any judgment or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be automatically rescinded if (i) the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been repaid or (ii) if the default relating to such Indebtedness is waived by the
holders of such Indebtedness or cured and if such Indebtedness has been accelerated, then the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness, in each case within 20 days after the declaration of
acceleration with respect thereto, and (iii) any other existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 603. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and
empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid or enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to
judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes (and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Subsidiary
Guarantors or the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable). 
 Section 604.
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or
any other obligor upon the Notes, or the property or creditors of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under
the Trust Indenture Act in order to have 

  
 36 








 
claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on
any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 707. 
 No provision of the Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim
of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar
committee. 
 Section 605. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. 

All rights of action and claims under the Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of
the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the
payment of the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

Section 606. Application of Money Collected. 

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee
and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 707; 

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Notes, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal and any premium and interest, respectively; and 

THIRD: The remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Company, as applicable, or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

  
 37 








 Section 607. Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
  

	 	(1)	such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes; 

  

	 	(2)	the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee
hereunder; 

  

	 	(3)	such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;


  

	 	(4)	the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 


 

	 	(5)	the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have not waived such Event of Default or otherwise given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such
request within such 60-day period; 

 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such
Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under the Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. 

Section 608. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, the Holder of any Notes shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 407) interest on such Notes on the Stated Maturity expressed in such Notes (or, in the case of redemption or offer by the Company to purchase the Notes pursuant to the
terms of the Indenture, on the Redemption Date or purchase date, as applicable), and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 609. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the
Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

 Section 610. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of
Section 406, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 611. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 612. Control by Holders. 

Subject to Section 703(5), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes, provided that 

 

	 	(1)	the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any rule of law or with the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or would involve the
Trustee in personal liability, and 

  

	 	(2)	the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 


Section 613. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any
past default hereunder and its consequences or compliance with any covenant or provision hereof, except a default

terms of the Indenture), or 

  

	 	(2)	in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Ten cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.

 Upon any such waiver with respect to a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 614. Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust
Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company. 

Section 615. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE SEVEN 

THE TRUSTEE 
 Section 701. Certain
Duties and Responsibilities. 
 The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no implied covenants shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee, and no provision of the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 

Section 702. Notice of Defaults. 

If a default occurs hereunder with respect to the Notes which is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holders of the Notes notice
of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 601(5) with respect to the Notes, no such notice to Holders shall
be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the
Notes. 

  
 40 








 The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee from the Company or a Holder at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
references the Notes and the Indenture. 
 Section 703. Certain Rights of Trustee. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 701: 
  

	 	(1)	the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture,
note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

	 	(4)	the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in reliance thereon; 

  

	 	(5)	the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the Indenture, unless such Holders shall have
offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 


 

	 	(6)	the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make
such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 


  
 41 









	 	(7)	the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or

	 	(8)	the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes authorized or within its rights;

consent, is the Holder of the Notes shall be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of the Notes and upon Notes executed and delivered in exchange therefore or in place thereof; 


 

	 	(10)	the Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to monitor whether or not a Rating Decline or a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred or give the Holders any notices with respect thereto; 


 

	 	(11)	in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit), irrespective of whether or
not the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; 

  

	 	(12)	in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under the Indenture arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control,
including strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and
hardware) services, it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts that are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances; 


 

	 	(13)	the permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein; and 


 

	 	(14)	the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder. 


Section 704. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of
the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Indenture or of the Notes. Neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the proceeds thereof. 

  
 42 








 Section 705. May Hold Notes. 

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Sections 708 and 713, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or
such other agent. 
 Section 706. Money Held in Trust. 

Money and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. 

Section 707. Compensation and Reimbursement. 

The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree: 

 

	 	(1)	to pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust); 

  

	 	(2)	except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of the Indenture
(including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgement; 

  

	 	(3)	 to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, cost or expense (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
judgement, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors (including this
Section 707) or defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of
Default specified in paragraph (7) or (8) of Section 601 of the Indenture, such expenses and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. For the
purposes of this paragraph, “Insolvency” or “Liquidation Proceeding” means, with respect to any Person, (a) an insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or similar case or
proceeding in connection therewith, relative to such Person or its creditors, as such, or its assets, 



  
 43 









	 	
or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up proceeding of such Person, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving
insolvency or bankruptcy or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of assets and liabilities of such Person; and 

  

	 	(4)	to the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances or any other amounts due the Trustee under this Section 707 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied
for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding, whether in an
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise. 

 The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this
Section 707 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 To secure
the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 707, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay
principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. 
 Section 708. Conflicting
Interests. 
 If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the
Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or, except as otherwise provided in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and the
Indenture. To the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under the Base Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series. 

Section 709. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 

There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the Notes. Each Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such, and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Notes shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
in this Article. 

  
 44 








 Section 710. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 711. 
 The Trustee may
resign at any time with respect to the Notes by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 711 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee (at the expense of the Company) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes. 

The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the
Trustee and to the Company. 
 If at any time: 
  

	 	(1)	the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 708 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or 


 

	 	(2)	the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 709 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or 


 

	 	(3)	the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

 then, in any such case, (A) the
Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 614, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Notes and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 

If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause,
with respect to the Notes, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Notes and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 711. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or
incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 711, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Notes and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Notes shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 711, any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes. 

  
 45 








 The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each
appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders of Notes in the manner provided in Section 206. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

Section 711. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be. 

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible
under this Article. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 711, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under Section 707 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring
Trustee. 
 Section 712. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered,
by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Notes. 

  
 46 








 Section 713. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or any such other obligor. 
 Section 714. Appointment
of Authenticating Agent. 
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf
of the Trustee to authenticate Notes issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 406, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture
and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Supplemental Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate
of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each
Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to
act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any
time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in
Section 206 to all Holders of Notes with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 

  
 47 








 The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation
for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 707. 

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 
 This is one of the
Notes designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee 
  

	 	(1)	semi-annually, not later than each Interest Payment Date for the Notes in each year, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes as of the preceding
Regular Record Date, and 

  

	 	(2)	at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time

The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent

receipt of a new list so furnished. 

  
 48 








 The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under the
Indenture or under the Notes, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustee, shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. 

Every Holder of Notes, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor
any agent of any of them shall be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act. 

Section 803. Reports by Trustee. 

The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under the Indenture as may be required pursuant to
the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. 
 A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such
transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which the Notes are listed, with the SEC and with the Company. The Company will notify the Trustee when any Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 

Section 804. Reports by Company. 

(a) Whether or not the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to the
extent not prohibited by the Exchange Act, the Company will file with the SEC, and make available to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes without cost to any Holder, the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies
of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation within the time periods specified therein with respect
to an accelerated filer. In the event that the Company is not permitted to file such reports, documents and information with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company will nevertheless make available such Exchange Act information to the
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes without cost to any Holder as if the Company were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within the time periods specified therein with respect to a non-accelerated filer. The Company shall also comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 314(a). 

(b) The Company may request the Trustee on behalf of the Company at the Company’s expense to mail the foregoing to Holders. In such case,
the Company shall provide the Trustee with a sufficient number of copies of all reports and other documents and information that the Trustee may be required to deliver to Holders under this Section. 

(c) The availability of the foregoing materials on the SEC’s website or on the Company’s website shall be deemed to satisfy the
foregoing delivery obligations. 
 (d) In the event that any direct or indirect parent company of the Company becomes a guarantor of the
Notes, the Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 804 with respect to reports and other financial information relating to the Company by furnishing reports and other financial information relating to such parent company;
provided that the same is 

  
 49 








 
accompanied by consolidating information, in the form of financial statement footnotes or otherwise, that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such
parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. 
 (e)
Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a Reporting Failure shall be deemed cured (and the Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 804) upon furnishing or filing such information or report as contemplated by
this Section 804 (but without regard to the date on which such information or report is so furnished or filed); provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of Holders under Section 601 if the principal, premium, if
any, and interest shall have been accelerated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure. 

(f) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 804 is for informational purposes only and the
Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or any other Person’s compliance with any of
their covenants described herein (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s or any other
Person’s compliance with the covenants described herein or to determine whether such reports, information or other documents are available on the SEC’s website or any other Person’s website.

	 	(6)	to add to the covenants of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor; 


 

	 	(7)	to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; provided, however, that any change to conform the Indenture to the “Description of the Notes” in the final prospectus of the
Company relating to the Initial Notes will not be deemed to adversely affect such legal rights; 

  

	 	(8)	to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or 

  

	 	(9)	to provide for the succession of a successor Trustee, provided that the successor Trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the Indenture. 


The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any such supplemental indenture,
to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder. 

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 1001 may be executed by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors
and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 1002. 
 Section 1002. Supplemental
Indentures With Consent of Holders. 
 With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the
Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under the Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby: 

 

	 	(1)	reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver; 

  

	 	(2)	reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any Note; 

  

	 	(3)	reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note; 

  

	 	(4)	reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note pursuant to Section 1203 or Section 1204 or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed (except provisions relating to minimum required notice
of optional redemption) pursuant to Section 1203 or Section 1204; 

  

	 	(5)	make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note; 


  
 52 









	 	(6)	impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any
payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; 

  

	 	(7)	make any change in this Section 1002 or in Section 613; 

  

	 	(8)	modify the Subsidiary Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes; or 

  

	 	(9)	make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders. 


It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but
it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 A consent to any amendment or waiver under the Indenture by any
Holder of Notes given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes, or a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, other Notes, will not be rendered invalid thereby. 

After an amendment under this Section 1002 becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders a notice briefly describing such
amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment. 

Section 1003. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by the Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise. 

Section 1004. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, the Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. 

Section 1005. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. 

  
 53 








 Section 1006. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. 

Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the
Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such
supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and such new Notes may be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes. 

ARTICLE ELEVEN 

COVENANTS 
 Section 1101. Payment
of Principal, Premium and Interest. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Notes that it will duly and
punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if a Paying Agent, if other than
the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 11 a.m., New York City time, on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then
due. 
 The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or similar law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, at the interest rate specified in the Notes to the extent lawful; and it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any applicable
Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

Section 1102. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company will maintain, in the City and State of New York and in any other Place of Payment, an office or agency where Notes may be
presented or surrendered for payment, and it will maintain an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect
of the Notes and the Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as
its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. The Company hereby irrevocably designates as a Place of Payment for the Notes the City and State of New York, and initially appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
at its corporate trust office in the City of New York, which, at the date hereof, is located at 150 East 42nd Street, 40th Floor, New York, New York 10017, as the Company’s office or agency in such city where the Notes may be presented or
surrendered for payment. 

  
 54 








 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation
to maintain in the City and State of New York, a Place of Payment for the Notes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 Section 1103. Money for Notes Payments to Be Held in Trust. 

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, before 11 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of
or any premium or interest on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such
Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
 Whenever the
Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Notes, it will, prior to 11 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on the Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount,
such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance of any default
by the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the
Notes. 
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture or for any other
purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the
Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any
premium or interest on the Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from
such trust; and the Holder of such Notes shall thereafter, as 

  
 55 








 
an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that, if there are then outstanding any Notes not in global form, the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the City and State of New York notice that such money remains unclaimed and
that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

Section 1104. Annual Compliance Certificate; Statement by Officers as to Default. 

(a) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company
ending after the Issue Date an Officers’ Certificate signed by the principal executive officer, the principal accounting officer or the principal financial officer of each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, stating that a review of
the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors has performed its
obligations under the Indenture, and further stating whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe such Default or Event of Default, its status and
what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (b) The Company shall, so long as any Note is Outstanding,
deliver to the Trustee within 30 days after the occurrence of a Default, written notice (which need not be an Officers’ Certificate) setting forth the details of such Default, and what action the Company is taking or proposing to take with
respect thereto. 
 Section 1105. Existence. 

Subject to Article Nine, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the
existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if it shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company. 
 Section 1106. Payment of Taxes. 

The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all material taxes, assessments
and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to
be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment or charge whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

 Section 1107. Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control. 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each Holder will have the right, except as provided in the fifth paragraph of this
Section 1107, to require the Company to purchase all or any part (in a principal amount of $2,000 or equal to integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal
amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has previously or concurrently exercised its right to
redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 1204 or another of the exceptions set forth in the fifth paragraph of this Section 1107 applies, the Company will send a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder, with a
copy to the Trustee, stating: 
  

	 	(1)	that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of
such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Change of Control Payment”);


  

	 	(2)	the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 


 

	 	(3)	that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 

  

	 	(4)	that unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment
Date; 

  

	 	(5)	that Holders electing to have any Notes in certificated form purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect
Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;


  

	 	(6)	that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Company to purchase such Notes, provided that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on
the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such
Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased; 


  
 57 









	 	(7)	that if the Company is purchasing a portion of the Note of any Holder, the Holder will be issued a new Note equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered, provided that the
unpurchased portion of the Note must be equal to a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; and 

  

	 	(8)	the procedures determined by the Company, consistent with the Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased. 


On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: 

 

	 	(1)	accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and not properly withdrawn;


  

	 	(2)	deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes accepted for payment; and 


 

	 	(3)	deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.


 The paying agent will promptly mail or deliver to each Holder of Notes accepted for payment the Change of Control Payment
for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each
such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. 
 If the Change of
Control Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record
date, and no further interest will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. 
 The Company is not required
to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with this Section 1107 applicable to a Change of
Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, (2) notice of redemption of all of the Outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to Section 1206
unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price or (3) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the Company has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all
Outstanding Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Outstanding Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer. 

A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and conditioned upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer. 

  
 58 








 The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 1107, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1107 by
virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. 
 If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the
Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 20 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer or
Alternate Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain Outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment,
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph shall be
made in compliance with Article Twelve. 
 The Company’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to this
Section 1107 may be waived or modified or terminated with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the
Notes), whether before or after the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 Section 1108. Limitation on Liens.

 The Company (1) will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur or assume any Indebtedness secured
by any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) upon any Principal Property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and (2) will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, incur or assume any Indebtedness secured by any Liens (other than
Permitted Liens) upon the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, unless (as to each of clauses (1) and (2)) the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee (if any) of such Subsidiary, as applicable (together with, if the Company shall so determine,
any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary that is not subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Notes) is equally and ratably secured for so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided that
if such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the Notes or a Subsidiary Guarantee, the Lien securing such Indebtedness will be subordinated and junior to the Lien securing the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee. Notwithstanding the preceding
provisions, the Company or any Subsidiary may create, incur or assume Indebtedness secured by Liens (other than Permitted Liens) if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness and all other Indebtedness of the Company and any Subsidiary
theretofore created, incurred or assumed pursuant to this exception in this Section 1108 and outstanding at such time does not exceed the greater of (i) $4.0 billion or (ii) 15% of the Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the
Company. 

  
 59 








 Section 1109. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. 

The Company will cause each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) that is not already a Subsidiary Guarantor
that Guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company under a Credit Facility to execute and deliver to the Trustee within 30 days a supplemental indenture (in substantially the form specified in Annex C to this Supplemental Indenture) pursuant to which
such Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes on a senior basis.

 All notices of redemption shall state: 

 

	 	(1)	the Redemption Date, 

  

	 	(2)	the Redemption Price, if then determined and otherwise the basis for its determination, 

  

	 	(3)	if less than all the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Notes, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed,

Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, and notice of
any such redemption may be given prior to the completion or the occurrence of such conditions precedent. If a redemption is subject to any condition precedent, the notice of such redemption shall describe such condition and, if applicable, shall
state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date that the notice of redemption is sent) as such condition is satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not
occur and such notice may be rescinded should such condition not be satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if in the good

 Section 1207. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the
Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1103) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued
interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 1208. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the

shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Notes for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Notes shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided,
however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant
record dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 407. 
 If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Note. 

Section 1209. Notes Redeemed in Part. 

Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so
requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 1401. Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1402 or Section 1403 applied to the Notes, upon compliance with the
conditions set forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced in or pursuant to a Board Resolution delivered to the Trustee. 

Section 1402. Defeasance and Discharge. 

Upon the Company’s exercise of its option to have this Section applied to the Notes, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged
from its obligations with respect to such Notes as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that
the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Notes and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and the Indenture insofar as the Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Notes to receive, solely from
the trust fund described in Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Notes when payments are due, (2) the Company’s obligations with respect
to such Notes under Sections 404, 405, 406, 1102, 1103 and 1104(a) and its obligations under Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this
Article. If the Company exercises its defeasance option pursuant to this Section 1402, the Subsidiary Guarantees will terminate with respect to the Notes, and payment of the Notes may not be accelerated pursuant to Section 602 because of
an Event of Default. Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Notes notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1403 applied to such
Notes. 
 Section 1403. Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise of its option to have this Section applied to the Notes, (1) the Company shall be released from its
obligations under Section 901(2) and (3) and Sections 1106 through 1109, inclusive, (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 601(3) (with respect only to the obligations under Section 901(2) and (3)), 601(4), 601(5),
601(6), 601(7) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) or (8) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries), 601(9) and 601(10) shall be deemed not to be or to result in an Event of Default, and (3) the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be
automatically released, in each case with respect to such Notes as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose,
such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section, whether directly or indirectly
by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any reference in any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of the Indenture and such Notes shall
be unaffected thereby. 

  
 64 








 Section 1404. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1402 or Section 1403 to any Notes: 

 

	 	(1)	The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 709 and agrees to comply with the provisions of
this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments and specifically dedicated solely to the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government
Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination
thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized bank or firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee if such deposit includes any U.S. Government
Obligations, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on such
Notes on the Stated Maturities or Redemption Date, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Notes. 

  

	 	(2)	In the event of an election to have Section 1402 apply to any Notes, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Supplemental Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon
such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to
Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 

  


	 	(3)	In the event of an election to have Section 1403 apply to any Notes, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Notes will not recognize income,
gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would
be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur. 

  

	 	(4)	The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Notes, if then listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted as a result of such deposit. 



  
 65 









	 	(5)	No Default with respect to such Notes shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 601(7) and (8), at any time on or prior to the 121st day
after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 121st day), other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit. 


 

	 	(6)	Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act. 


 

	 	(7)	Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Company is a party or by
which it is bound. 

  

	 	(8)	The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit shall not cause either the Trustee or the trust so created to be subject to the Investment Company Act.


  

	 	(9)	The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been
complied with. 

 Section 1405. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous
Provisions. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1103, all money and U.S. Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1406, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the
“Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of any Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and the Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in
trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1404 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which
by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Notes. 
 Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1404 with respect to any Notes which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized bank or firm
of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case
may be, with respect to such Notes. 

  
 66 








 Section 1406. Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Notes by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under the Indenture and such Notes from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to
Section 1402 or 1403 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Notes, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to
Section 1405 with respect to such Notes in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Note following such reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

ARTICLE SIXTEEN 

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES 
 Section 1601.
Unconditional Guarantee. 
 (a) For value received, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby fully and unconditionally
guarantees (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”) to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts due and payable under the Indenture and the
Notes by the Company (collectively, the “Obligations”), when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or
otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1603. 
 (b) Failing
payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee, for whatever reason, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantee hereunder is
intended to be a general, unsecured, senior obligation of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment
to the Subsidiary Guarantee. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantee
of any other Subsidiary Guarantor or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or
any other Subsidiary Guarantor, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees
that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by
the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to Section 607, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against such Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce its Subsidiary Guarantee without first proceeding
against the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor. 

  
 67 








 (c) The obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article shall be as aforesaid
full and unconditional and shall not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (A) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence or
modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Company or any of the other Subsidiary Guarantors contained in the Notes or the Indenture, (B) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the liability
of the Company, any of the other Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable bankruptcy law, or other
statute or from the decision of any court, (C) the assertion or exercise by the Company, any of the other Subsidiary Guarantors or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under the Notes or the Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or
exercise any such rights or remedies, (D) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Notes, including all or any part of the rights of the Company or any of the other Subsidiary Guarantors under the
Indenture, (E) the extension of the time for payment by the Company or any of the other Subsidiary Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and provisions of the Notes or the Indenture
or of the time for performance by the Company or any of the other Subsidiary Guarantors of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof, (F) the modification or
amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Company or any of the other Subsidiary Guarantors set forth in the Indenture, (G) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar
proceeding affecting, the Company or any of the other Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantee or the Indenture in any such proceeding, (H) the release or discharge of
the Company or any of the other Subsidiary Guarantors from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (I) the unenforceability of the Notes or the
Indenture or (J) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the Subsidiary Guarantees) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. 

(d) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby (A) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the
event of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and all demands whatsoever, (B) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing its Subsidiary Guarantee may be transferred and
that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Subsidiary Guarantee without notice to it and (C) covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged
except by complete performance of the Subsidiary Guarantee. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to its Subsidiary Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded
or returned for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any of the 

  
 68 








 
Subsidiary Guarantors, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such
application, and the Subsidiary Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made. 

(e) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the Trustee against the Company in respect of any
amounts paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, provided, however, that such Subsidiary Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such
right of subrogation until all of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees shall have been paid in full or discharged. 
 Section 1602. Execution and
Delivery of Notation of Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 To further evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 1601, each
of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation relating to such Subsidiary Guarantee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B, shall be endorsed on each Note entitled to the benefits of the Subsidiary Guarantee authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor, or in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a limited partnership, an Officer of the general partner of each
Subsidiary Guarantor. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 1601 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation relating to its
Subsidiary Guarantee. If any Officer of the Subsidiary Guarantor, or in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a limited partnership, any Officer of the general partner of the Subsidiary Guarantor, whose signature is on the Indenture or a Note
no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Note or at any time thereafter, the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantees set forth in the Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 

Section 1603. Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantors’ Liability. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of a Note entitled to the benefits of the Subsidiary Guarantee hereby
confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Federal or State law. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, the Holders of a Note entitled to the benefits of the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited
to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Federal or
State law. 

  
 69 








 Section 1604. Release of Subsidiary Guarantors from Guarantee. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor and all of its other
obligations under the Indenture shall be released upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1604. Any Subsidiary Guarantee incurred by a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Article, together with all of its other
obligations under the Indenture, shall be unconditionally released and discharged automatically (i) upon (A) any sale, exchange or other disposition, whether by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to any Person that is not the Company or
a Subsidiary, of a sufficient amount of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor so that it no longer qualified as a “Subsidiary,” (B) any sale, exchange or other disposition (other than a lease) of all or substantially all of the
assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor to any Person that is not the Company or a Subsidiary, (C) the merger of such Subsidiary Guarantor into the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or the liquidation and dissolution of such Subsidiary
Guarantor or (D) in connection with any Covenant Defeasance, Legal Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as provided under Article Five or Article Fourteen of the Indenture or (ii) upon delivery of a written notice of such
release or discharge by the Company to the Trustee, following the release or discharge of the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Indebtedness of the Company under a Credit Facility, except a discharge or release by or as a result of
payment under such Guarantee. 
 (b) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor
from its Subsidiary Guarantee and all of its other obligations under the Indenture upon receipt of a Company Request accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel the Subsidiary Guarantor is entitled to such release in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. 
 (c) Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture will remain liable for the full amount of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Notes as provided in this Article Sixteen, subject to the limitations of Section 1603. 

Section 1605. Subsidiary Guarantor Contribution. 

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree, inter se, that
in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Subsidiary Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor (if any)
in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s Obligations with respect to the
Notes or any other Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee. 
  

 
 The Trustee
hereby accepts the trusts in the Indenture upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.

 [Form of Reverse of Note] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of senior notes of the Company (herein called the “Note”), issued under an Indenture,
dated as of September 18, 2009 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented and amended by the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 2, 2018 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture,
herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of
the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000 but subject to re-opening as provided in the Supplemental Indenture. 
 The Notes are subject to being mandatorily
redeemed pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption provisions of Section 1203 of the Indenture. The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time and from time to time prior to the Stated Maturity of the
Notes, upon prior notice as provided in Section 1206 of the Indenture, at the Redemption Price set forth in Section 1204(a) or (b) of the Indenture, as applicable, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to the
applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). 

The Notes may also be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Company and upon prior notice as provided in Section 1206 of the
Indenture, following certain Change of Control Offers, at the Redemption Price and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1107 of the Indenture. 

Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. 

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in
the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire
indebtedness of this Note as well as certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the
time Outstanding to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the


  
 A-4 








 
Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive

the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings
in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes at the time
Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request (and such Holders shall not have waived such Event of Default), and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
security or indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company
